    Democrats don’t do anything.

    Republicans do evil things.

    Yeah, one side is fucking worse.

      Sure. I’ve voted D for last two national elections.

      But… they’re still absolutely shit. Two different turds, one is less runny. Good job.

      Over 70% of voters want universal healthcare, Ds can’t be bothered. Our “labor party” can’t even manage to keep our wages and benefits above those of POLAND. Un-fucking-believable, we’ve been surpassed by eastern europe.

      Biden couldn’t even manage ONE stand alone minimum wage bill. Didn’t even bother. You should be ashamed to defend him, that was his platform. What he did there was an evil thing.

      He didn’t need 60 votes. They can use the “nuclear option” whenever they’d like, for example, passing judges just requires 50 votes. (which 8 Ds just crossed the aisle to vote for an individual who refuses to say that Biden won the 2020 election). Excellent work again, Ds.

      Trent Lott the Republican came up with the “nuclear option” term, and bOtH pArTiEs adopted it immediately, because it scares the shit out of dummies. Before 2000s, that simple majority vote was known as the “constitutional option”. They can do this whenever they’d like. They had minimum wage in the fucking bag for first two years. Are you blind?

        Listen, I’m the first person to point out that the D party has it’s fucking problems. But saying “both sides suck” is just bullshit. A sprained ankle and and amputated leg both suck, but let’s not fucking equivocate here.
